Thats fantastic nobodyknows 
I have had a similar experience in my first seven days sober but I need to work on that list.
I do have a few that you mentioned though & this is week one... isn't it great.
The most meaningful was having long conversations with friends straight & them telling me how much they appreciate your friendship, feedback & support (even though you are straight... who would of thunk it ;-)
I also got up early on Saturday & Sunday and spent some quality time with my family/friends as opposed to being a complete hungover mess & hiding away from everyone... until the next drink of course.
Keep up the great work!

great job nobodyknows,
i know....exactly what you mean.
last spring when i was sober for 3 months i did a tremendous amount of projects on the casa.
yesterday was two weeks for me and i've already knocked out quite a few projects that i had just been putting off due to the vodka.
i would leave work and say....i need to do this tonight....but after that first swig of firewater it was over. sitting on the sofa and drinking til passout time.
i'm looking forward to nice weather so i can do some more projects outside.
isn't it wonderful to have energy?
